The day seemed to drag on and on, as I waited, counting down the days to California. It was a humid, sunny afternoon down at the Alton pool, where I usually spend most of my summer days working as a lifeguard. Today was very different than most…. And maybe the reason why was because it was my last day of work before I flew off to the big L.A. Most days at the pool the time went by slower than any I have ever known, with the scorching hot sun burning my skin, and little kids yelling at their friends telling each other secrets or what they want to play next.

As the driver got out and greeted us, we continued to climb through this enormous limo with all this glitz and glamour, but that all quickly ended as soon as we got to the car rental place.

A car full of girls would be very hard to manage when they are constantly bickering, but with that being said at least we could all agree on a place to eat, In n’ Out. This fast food place is widely known for their delicious food only served in certain places, and California was one of them. As soon as all of us, scarfed down our delicious animal style burgers we piled in the van for another couple hours/days to go visiting family along California in the different places that they lived. FINALLY, the day had come where it was time to go to the one place I have been waiting for, Universal Studios. I could only imagine the endless rides I would go on, and things I would see like the Transformers Bumblebee which was my idol. It really was magical, as soon as I stepped foot on the ground, I felt like all of my dreams would come true. We had spent all day there going shopping, getting souvenirs,
